Looking ahead to this game we should go into it with confidence. We've just beaten them at home and if we can avoid the appalling start we had last time we visited them I see no reason why we can't pick up two points. Both teams played well in their last games although Toulouse fell away badly towards the end of their match with Leeds. As always we will need to watch the fullback and the halfback Ford, but if we do I'm confident of the outcome. Fax by 10.

Plus Robin is a real threat with him back in the team.

The other half back looks a real threat not ford

Toulouse 30 Halifax 10.

I've heard it's going to take nearly a day point to point to get from Home to Toulouse.

A handful of fans at best, due to high fares and said route. I'd write this one off.

Not in the qualifiers to make up the numbers this time--RM.If this is to be the case then we must beat Toulouse against the odds again this weekend.

I’m expecting us to loose heavily....I hope I’m wrong

For them they probably have promotion aspirations so its a must win for them, for us its probably our best chance to pick up a win. We probably shouldnt win but we are also more than capable of winning.

Grix/Douglas/Cooper/Fleming in for Mahar/Jones/Wood/Barber---happy with that.

Good stuff, good squad.

It was absolutely boiling down there yesterday, 30 plus degrees and still up there at 19:00, will take a lot for us to win given the travel and the heat.
Good luck to the lads and if w do win then we can kick in and possibly p ice up more points this time round.

When we qualified I said that we could pick up wins against Toulouse, London and Widnes. I thought we would go close against Toronto and Salford.

Nothing has changed my view. If we'd attacked better last week we could have possibly won but certainly got a lot closer.

I rate RM highly as a coach but he will really have to focus on attack this week. The defence is sound. We need to start putting points on teams and making our attacks count.

Up the Fax!

We missed Grix massively last week -especially as the distribution link on the middle of the park.Muzza and Johno looked to have way less time and options as well with Toronto's line speed.Not sure Tolouse will offer that same threat and Grix definitely coming back will also help.
Could be all over in first 15 mins if they get on top as they are a real threat on attack for sure.
Dig in and take your chances and you never know.
Good luck and safe journey to all attending.

"as well as..."

Changes to the Toulouse squad:

"Two changes in the group of TO XIII made by Sylvain HOULES and his staff: Eddy PETTYBOURNE injured his foot against Leeds last weekend, leaves his place to Arthur ROMANO who thus postulates his first match under the colors of the Olympian club, while that Sébastien PLANAS replaces Tony MAUREL."

Oooo la la!

Six points in two games perhaps indicates where the problem is.

Best part time team looks like an epitaph not a valedictory.
